Good Multi channel tube amp for $1000


Hello all.

This is my first post to the gon, but I’ve reading just about every single thread for the past 2 months. I plan on making some steps into mid-fi/hi-fi next year. I’m planning on buying the Outlaw 990 to replace my pioneer receiver and upgrade my speakers soon after (I currently have wharfdale mfm 3 front’s and advent surrounds) . I was hoping I could get some recommendations on a multi channel 7.1 tube amp for around 1000 dollars. I could go solid state but I like to try tubes at this level before venturing further. The rig will be used for 50/50 movies, music. Music tastes are pretty diverse classical, jazz, rock ETC.

You may be hard pressed to find a seven channel tube amp. I can think of few if any more than two channel tube amps.
I was afraid of that. I could use tube for the fronts and a multi channel SS foe the rest.
Butler Audio makes multichannel tube amps...your not going to find anything in your price range though. The only other I can think of is even more money than the Butler.
